Toilet chip repair at your home in West Charleton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Chips on the cistern lid

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Charleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in West Charleton
Do you come to West Charleton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to West Charleton and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Charleton.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
